Artist Statement:
Through coil building methods I use the clay medium as a form of meditation. As if I am passing mala beads through my fingers, I create a texture that captures every moment with the clay. The process reveals itself through the form and texture and makes me, the artist, question how much I control or allow the clay to guide me.
